OJ dripless shaft seal
I am going to install a new generation OJ dripless shaft seal in the ol BEAST. The unit needs to be cooled as well. My plan is to tap into the Hi pressure fuel pump coolant hose and redirect. The coolant is all on the hi pressure side of the water cooling system. Note all coolers on my engine are on pressure side. From the transmission cooler drain fitting a 1/8" NPT fitting with a 90* 3/8 barb, to the bottom of the Hi pressure fuel pump coolant chamber. Out of the coolant chamber which is on top back down to the shaft seal, and then out of the boat. Currently the system dumps back into the thermostat housing. vie a one way valved fitting. This water will be cold water as it is pressurized and before the heat of the engine. I am open to suggestions if any have some. Al
